August is National Immunization Awareness Month, a timely reminder to make sure vaccinations are on the back-to-school and fall health checklist.
With flu season approaching, Vaughn Pharmacy is making one important step especially easy. Walk-in flu vaccines are available with no appointment needed, allowing customers to stop by when it fits their schedule.
Annual flu vaccination is recommended for most people ages 6 months and older, with some exceptions. Getting vaccinated before flu activity increases gives the body time to develop protection and can help reduce the risk of serious illness during the months ahead.
National Immunization Awareness Month, observed each August, highlights the importance of routine vaccinations for people of all ages. It is also a good time to review vaccination records and talk with a health care provider or pharmacist about recommended immunizations.
For those ready to check the flu shot off the fall to-do list, Vaughn Pharmacy offers a simple option: walk in, roll up a sleeve and get it done — no appointment required.
